Frommer's Review
At Five Points, in the center of the city, chef John Toler offers a delightful cuisine that features a seasonal menu adjusted every 6 weeks to take advantage of what's fresh in the local markets. For some, the decor evokes a country club, and the waitstaff is among the most helpful, polished, and, yes, friendliest in the Triangle. The selections include both old favorites and innovative new ones. An appetizer with a touch of exoticism is the Chinese-style gingered pork "dim dum" dumplings wrapped in Napa cabbage leaves with shiitake mushrooms and Lop Chong sausage. For a main course, try the sautéed boneless Carolina mountain trout wrapped in pancetta. Luscious desserts feature the likes of deep-dish crème brûlée topped with Granny Smith apple pie filling.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
